Coping With Sensitivity

You may feel sensitive and vulnerable to intense stimuli today. Your body may react with distress when exposed to loud noises, bright lights, strong scents, or coarse fabrics. This sensitivity to your environment could cause you to feel exhausted or overwhelmed. You can cope with your heightened sensitivity by putting distance between yourself and whatever is stressing you, perhaps by spending a quiet day at home where you can relax, refresh yourself, and allow your period of sensitivity to run its course. If you can’t get away or take the day off today, try concentrating mainly on tasks that don’t require you to interact too much with what you are feeling sensitive to, as this could help you regain your equilibrium.

When you’re feeling highly sensitive, both physically and mentally, spending time in a calm, low-stress environment and engaging in quiet pursuits can help you relax and unwind. The modern world can be often be overwhelming, with its harsh scents, bright lights, constant clamor, and hectic schedules. Retreating to a serene place when you feel sensitive gives your senses an opportunity to rest and recover, while moving from pleasant task to pleasant task at your own pace can restore your internal balance. As your feelings of hypersensitivity subside, you’ll feel confident enough to emerge once again into the world. Your sensitivity will gradually diminish today when you retreat into the sanctuary of a quiet, soothing place.
